Sen. Joe Biden blasts Bush on Obama Nazi Appeasment comment

Sen. Joe Biden blasts President Bush on Obama Nazi appeasment comment: "This is bullshit, this is malarkey. This is outrageous, for the president of the United States to go to a foreign country, to sit in the Knesset ... and make this kind of ridiculous statement."
--------------------------------------------
Speaking before the Knesset, Bush said that "some people" believe the United States "should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along." "We have heard this foolish delusion before," Bush said. "As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: 'Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."

Democrats have interpreted the comments as an attack on Sen. Barack Obama, and Biden, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said that the president was out of line. "He is the guy who has weakened us," he said. "He has increased the number of terrorists in the world. It is his policies that have produced this vulnerability that the U.S. has. It's his [own] intelligence community [that] has pointed this out, not me."

Biden noted that Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice have both suggested that the United States ought to find a way to talk more with its enemies. "If he thinks this is appeasement, is he going to come back and fire his own cabinet?" Biden asked. "Is he going to fire Condi Rice?"

In a separate statement, Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) said that Bush "is still playing the disgusting and dangerous political game Karl Rove perfected, which is insulting to every American and disrespectful to our ally Israel. George Bush should be making Israel secure, not slandering Barack Obama from the Knesset."

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) also weighed in. "Not surprisingly, the engineer of the worst foreign policy in our nation's history has fired yet another reckless and reprehensible round," said Reid. "For the President to make this statement before the government of our closest ally as it celebrates a remarkable milestone demeans this historic moment with partisan politics."

The White House insists that Bush wasn't referring specifically to Obama, an argument that Senate Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) called "baloney." "There is no escaping what the president is doing," said Durbin, who supports Obama. "It is an attack on Sen. Obama's position that we should not be avoiding even those we disagree with when it comes to negotiations and diplomacy."Durbin called Bush's remarks "unfair and really unfortunate."

However, Biden again did not mince words when discussing Bush's remarks, accusing the president of engaging in "long-distance swiftboating" with his speech in Israel. Biden also cited numerous examples of the Bush Administration reaching out to unfriendly regimes in Libya, North Korea and Iran, arguing that Bush's insinuation that the Democrats were soft on terrorism was "truly delusional ... and truly disgraceful."

@oneshottwodrops uhhhhh do you not know who hitler is? Maybe you should look him up, it would give you a good history lesson. Than maybe you can try to compare hitler and obama.

[oneshottwodrops]

obama is a radical extremeist. hes doing the same thing hitler did. he promises to get out of the economy and create jobs but all hes doing is taking away our money and increasing his0 pay checks only creating state jobs which are paid for by tax payers money. he even started his own obama youth group. influencing our country through children who will believe anything taking advantage of them. 

[shayshalom]

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

The fact is he had his plans on the table, they were never going to talk with them, the agenda is an offencive and not to talk. This guy has made his mind up, like they said, he spoke to all the other terrorist and assholes, but this one is beyond talking to..lol The only reason Kim is pissed off is because we canceled military missile contracts wit him...lol

I know BG throws this around, but "As a generic concept, National Socialism opposes capitalism, communism, democratic socialism and liberalism.[1] It may also oppose certain nations, ethnicities and other groups that are deemed to be enemies of the specific ethnicity to which it is applied." That defines Nazism, I really hope the stimulus can teach these Reputards some history
